'Nutrigenomics' defined

Nutrigenomics is the field of science that defines the relationship between diet and our genetically-determined response (and predisposition) to it. We know for example that our genes influence dietary preferences and tolerances. Conversely, we are now beginning to understand how dietary components influence the expression of genes that modulate our physiological response to the food we eat. Many foods are now identified as having direct health benefits in addition to their nutritional value.
